1. A method of determining a target path by a source electronic control unit (ECU) mounted on a vehicle, the method comprising:
obtaining state information of a plurality of paths connecting the source ECU with a destination ECU;
based on the state information, selecting the target path for target data from among the plurality of paths; and
transmitting the target data to the destination ECU through an ECU located on the selected target path,
wherein the state information comprises information about at least one of power consumption of ECUs located on the plurality of paths, a temperature of the ECUs located on the plurality of paths, a latency of the plurality of paths, or a transmission success rate of the plurality of paths, and
wherein, from among the plurality of paths, the target path including an ECU, a predicted temperature of which being less than a limit temperature, is selected.
